[luau] Donation of Oracle 9i Linux Server to Mililani HS

[Warren Togami]

To LUAU list and Wayne Liauh:
--------------
I will soon send the following message to Mililani's administration and
tech teachers.
* Anything I should add?
* Wayne, do you approve?
* Wayne, what are the other specs on the machine (motherboard, hard
drive, PSU watts, etc.)?
* I will need some volunteers to help train the teacher in Linux Oracle
usage and possibly Java later in the year.  Also I myself may need help
in configuring Oracle, since I've never done it before.
Thanks,
Warren

I had originally planned on giving Mililani a Pentium2 400MHz machine
for use as an Oracle 9i server for Cindy Mochida's Oracle class in L204,
but today Wayne Liauh, a local lawyer has graciously offered his 1GHz
Athlon machine with 256MB RAM which would make an even better Oracle
server for Mililani.

With this amount of server power, in addition to Oracle 9i, I will be
able to show your school an effective way of using Unix as a Java
learning tool.  This Unix method of using Java is taught by several
Computer Science department lecturers at UH, and I would suggest it to
be a way of speeding the learning process for your Java students.

We can possibly make this donation final if the following four
conditions are met:
1. Mililani HS agrees to use only the Linux operating system on this
system, for Oracle 9i, Java and possibly other educational learning.
2. Mililani HS agrees to buy additional RAM, type of my choosing
(roughly $50-120) to make this server production ready.  Mililani may
optionally choose to buy a backup drive like a CD burner to safeguard
student data.
3. One Mililani HS faculty member must accept free training from MPLUG
in the proper usage of Oracle 9i and Java development on this server. 
Two faculty members must learn simple server maintenance tasks.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,
Warren
